Chapter 577: Exposed

Upon hearing Elizabeth’s words, Zhao Yao froze on the spot and as his expression stiffened.

He switched his power over to Matcha at the first instance and activated time freeze.

Level 8 Matcha activated time freeze, which totalled 8 times of 12 seconds, giving Matcha and Zhao Yao an extra time of around 96 seconds.

On top of that, Zhao Yao had used his Power Up card, extending the timeframe to 120 seconds. Multiplied by 8 times, this amounted to 960 seconds, meaning a total of 16 minutes, which was enough time for Zhao Yao to do whatever he wanted to do.

As he watched the world around him come to a standstill, Zhao Yao first took 3 seconds to compose himself and get rid of the awkwardness from earlier on.

Never did he expect that Sphynx cat and Elizabeth’s powers of illusion would be countered by the Americans, just as he was thinking of how Kaede Hattori was being picked on by them.

Matcha, who was perched on Zhao Yao’s shoulders, laughed so hard that he started rolling on the floor, “Hahahaha, Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, your stupid act got exposed!”

Zhao Yao whipped his head around and glared at Matcha coldly.

The fur on Matcha’s back stood on its ends and he stood up immediately, saying calmly, “Zhao Yao, are you going to silence all of them?”

As he said that, he kicked out a paw and licked it as he said, “These paws of mine have been so used to playing cheerful music that it’s about time to get some blood on these sharp claws!”

As he licked his paws, a sharp scratching sound was heard as Matcha accidentally scratched his tongue, which sent him screaming and pacing up and down in pain saying, “So painful! So painful!”

“This should count as getting blood on them too,” Zhao Yao glanced at Matcha with a look of disdain, stroking his chin as he started to think of his next move.

“Luckily I wore the mask beforehand, at least my face hasn’t been exposed,” This was the only thing Zhao Yao could take comfort in.

“If the power of illusion was broken, maybe I should kill off the person who broke it?” Zhao Yao raised his head and observed his surroundings. There were too many people and cats in the banquet hall. Given such a short time, it was impossible for him to find the person who broke his power of illusion.

He turned and stared at Kaede Hattori, whose face was frozen and still in a state of shock, and a thought came to Zhao Yao’s mind, “Kaede, would you listen to my explanation?”

Matcha tapped Zhao Yao’s leg and asked, “Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, quick help me take a look, did it leave a scar? I have a scar-prone body.”

“Scar-prone my ass, get lost.” Zhao Yao pushed Matcha away and thought next, “Let’s try to hoodwink them first, if it doesn’t work, then I can only reset the scene and start all over again.”

At the thought of this, Zhao Yao immediately deactivated the time freeze and switched over to Elizabeth’s power of illusion. He stared at Kaede Hattori, who was a few meters away and said, “Kaede, hear dad out for a bit, things are not like what you thought.”

Kaede Hattori stared at him coldly as the blood-red rays began concentrating around his body, “So you were the one behind all these things with my mother and Kappei?”

Zhao Yao explained, “Kaede, since it came to this, there is no point for me to hide anything from you. Actually your real name isn’t Kaede Hattori, it is Xiao Feng.

Thirty years ago, the Hattori family was out to kill us off, and brought you back to Japan at a young age and raised you up since then. Today we are reunited as father and son, which is the perfect opportunity for our revenge.”

As he was saying that, Zhao Yao looked towards Aoyama Hattori (Kaede Hattori’s father) who was afar, and his eyes glinted with red light, bringing Aoyama Hattori back to consciousness as he pointed at Zhao Yao in disbelief and said, “You! The Great Bandit! You didn’t die!”

Zhao Yao stared at Kaede Hattori with a face full of sincerity, hoping that the other party would trust him again. Thereafter, he would only need to help him finish off the apostles at the scene to complete the chain mission.

Just as Kaede Hattori frowned and started to hesitate again, Kappei Hattori shouted from afar, “Brother, don’t trust what he says. Hattorie can control people’s minds! He can control our words and actions.”

Kaede Hattori’s eyes focused, and all sorts of evil spirits had charged towards Zhao Yao, and Kaede Hattori had even fashioned a blood-red gun that looked as if it was solid and charged ruthlessly towards Zhao Yao to pierce him.

Bloodthorn gun! Kaede Hattori used the strongest counterattack produced at highly concentrated and pressurized levels of the Divine Rays of Terror, which had even split the five meter thick fortification apart.

However, the Deflective Field which Ares emitted did not have the Power Up card, and was easily destroyed by the highly concentrated Divine Rays of Terror.

Previously when he wiped out the Spirit Army, Kaede Hattori’s Divine Rays of Terror were already strong enough to slightly infiltrate Ares’ Deflective Field.

At this moment, Kaede Hattori’s terror waves had spread even further, and with the name of being the strongest in Japan, more than a hundred thousand lives were in fear of his great name, strengthening his Divine Rays of Terror to unprecedented levels. Without using the Power Up card, Ares’ Deflective Field would be wrecked in an instant.

However, even though Ares’ Deflective Field was broken, it was enough to give Zhao Yao an instantaneous moment for him to switch his powers.

Layers and layers of golden light rays shielded against Kaede Hattori’s bloodthorn gun as Zhao Yao, who used the Power Up card, activated the Level 8 Deflective Field. The collision between the golden light rays and the blood-red rifle resulted in a loud explosion, forcing Zhao Yao and Kaede Hattori take a few steps back.

All sorts of weird creatures, devils and ghosts charged towards him from all sides, gradually circling around Zhao Yao as if they were going to tear him up into pieces at any moment.

“Sigh, Kaede, can’t you just listen to dad explain? Now we’re facing a great enemy before us, it’s not the time for us to fight between ourselves,” Zhao Yao shook his head and said.

Upon hearing that, the murderous look in Kaede Hattori’s eyes intensified as he shot out with the bloodthorn gun in his hand. Despite the resounding impact from the collision between the blood-red and golden rays, the bloodthorn gun was still unable to break through the other party’s defense.

He frowned slightly. The power unleashed by his opponent was definitely not something he could defeat quickly, and with the present threat of the Americans, Kaede Hattori knew that if he continued to fight it out with his opponent, the only one who stood to win would be the Americans, as much as what his opponent just did had infuriated him greatly.

On the other hand, if he could make use of his opponent’s ability to shield against the gravitation attack, he might even get the chance to kill off Apollo and his men.

Just as he was about to continue saying something, a loud “Ka-cha!” sound was heard as something broke. The impact from Kaede Hattori’s bloodthorn gunshot earlier on had split the mask that Zhao Yao was wearing on his head into half, causing it to drop to the floor.

The mask Zhao Yao was wearing was of low quality to begin with. Previously when he was switching his powers, he had managed to fend off Kaede Hattori’s attack with the Power Up card-enhanced Deflective Field, but some of the impact had inevitably passed through during that time and swept through Zhao Yao’s clothes.

His clothes were fine, but the low-grade mask broke.

“It’s him!”

Everyone who saw this was shocked beyond words, especially Hideki Kujyo, Nanako and Kappei Hattori.

Kappei Hattori shouted, “Big brother, he is Zhao Yao, Nanako’s friend from China. This guy is here to ruin the wedding.”
